Hoof problems?

I must have jinxed myself. Today Gypsy seems like she is ever so slightly favoring her right hind, the one with the bad abscess blowout. I'm going to take some precautionary measures and soak her feet in betadine and Epsom salts tonight. She's been doing so well all winter. I wonder if this has anything to do with the mud that we have now. I bet it does. Time for warfare! I want to be able to use that horse this year!

Ugh I HATE abcesses. I didn't get to ride/work my horse for almost a whole year thanks to a stupid abcess. I ended up having to put him on antibiotics to get rid of it for good. So frustrating!! Good luck with Gypsy!

About Me

This blog is about life on a farm and all the good and bad things that are a part of it. The farm is in a small town in Maine. We have horses, goats, chickens, turkeys, guinea hens and of course dogs and cats. The days are long and sometimes the nights seem longer but my little family and I seem to make it work here and we hope to keep making it work here as long as we can.
